Helmet band

Nice work. I have just started dabbling in making fire service related items. Here is my hand sewn Helmet Band I made.

What did you use to outline the letters?

 

[rtesterman]

White paint and a small brush.

Instead of a brush try these:  https://angelusdirect.com/collections/best-sellers/products/angelus-empty-paint-marker-set

There are others including Tandy;  https://www.dickblick.com/paint/markers/.

Thank you! I will take a look. I have seen Decocolor in Joanns but have never gotten them.

Made myself a band for my fire helmet backed it with an old inner tube, stitched with 1.0 Rita thread and glow in the dark thread cross crossed at every stitch. 

There is a guy on Speedway Fire Indiana with the last name Turpin (Dave). Strange, 2 Firefighters both with the last name Turpin in different states.

That's quite cool, although I highly doubt any relation as my name spelling only goes back to my grandfather (long story)
